Gas Analysis By Measurement Of The Thermal Conductivity, Bertie Lee Browning Jan 1931

Gas Analysis By Measurement Of The Thermal Conductivity, Bertie Lee Browning

Professional Degree Theses

"Types of gas analysis. Methods for the analysis of gases may be divided into two general classes, physical and chemical. In chemical methods, a constituent of the gas mixture undergoes chemical reaction and the amount of the constituent is determined by change in volume or by supplementary chemical methods such as titration. The physical methods of analysis differ in that no chemical change takes place in the gas. Instead, a determination is made of some physical property which is related to the composition of the gas mixture. Some of the physical properties which have been used for purposes of analysis …


Pressure Transmission In Clays Affected By Time Of Pressure Application, Robert Edward Lee Jan 1931

Pressure Transmission In Clays Affected By Time Of Pressure Application, Robert Edward Lee

Bachelors Theses

"Experienced dry-press operators have long known that when they slow down their presses, to the proper speed they are able to exert more pressure on a wetter mix with out pressure cracks becoming apparent. When a clay mix is compressed in a dry-press there is a gradation of the pressure exerted, from the rams to the center, causing in some cases a soft centered brick. "Shelly brick", are undersirable sic because they do not have uniform physical properties through out. This weakens their structure, due to unequal stresses developed in drying and fireing sic. The defective structure of dry-pressed brick …


The Effect Of Small Amounts Of Chrome Ore On Dry Press Diaspore Refractories, Allen John Reid Jan 1931

The Effect Of Small Amounts Of Chrome Ore On Dry Press Diaspore Refractories, Allen John Reid

Bachelors Theses

"The term "Diaspore" as used in this paper will be used to mean the diaspore clay from which refractory bodies are made. The pure mineral Diaspore (Al₂O₃ . H₂O) has an Al₂O₃ content of 85%, while the best grades of diaspore clay run from 76% to 79% diaspore. Diaspore clay consists of a varying percentage of diaspore, ranging from 60% to 79%, and the remaining percentage as clay. The most objectionable impurities which occure sic in diaspore clay are alkalies. The chief source of diaspore is the central part of Missouri. It occurs in pot hole formations accompanied by "flint" …


The Transmission Of Pressure In The Dry Pressing Of Typical Building Brick And Fire Brick Mixes As Affected By The Variation In Grog Size, Stanley John Tompach Jan 1931

The Transmission Of Pressure In The Dry Pressing Of Typical Building Brick And Fire Brick Mixes As Affected By The Variation In Grog Size, Stanley John Tompach

Bachelors Theses

"In the formation of dry pressed ware, the transmission of pressure is of vital importance to the quality and character of the finished product as regards the resistance to spalling, load at high temperatures, slag action, abrasion and other physical properties. Furthermore, the transmission of pressure is a limiting factor as regards the size and irregularity of shape of a product manufactured by the dry press process. Prior to the time of this investigation several companies have succeeded in producing ware up to six (6) inches in depth; but an increase over six inches has resulted, in every case, in …

The Effect Of Occluded Air In Dry-Press Mixes, William Raymond Powell Jan 1930

The Effect Of Occluded Air In Dry-Press Mixes, William Raymond Powell

Bachelors Theses

"The effect of occluded air in clay mixes has recently become a subject of considerable importance especially since some of the defects occuring sic in dry-press ware, such as cracks and soft or granulated centers, have been either partially or wholly attributed to occluded air. According to this theory, the defects are due to the entrapping of air among the clay grains before compression, which, when the pressure is released, has a tendency to expand and cause a rupture in the bond. Also granulated centers have been explained by the fact that the entrapped air may act as a cushion, …


The Determination Of The Alumina Content In Diaspore And High Alumina Clays, W. D. Keller Jan 1930

The Determination Of The Alumina Content In Diaspore And High Alumina Clays, W. D. Keller

Bachelors Theses

"The determination of the alumina in diaspore and kindred high alumina clays has been a problem which has attracted the interest of ceramists and chemists ever since a sample of Missouri diaspore was first sent for analysis to the laboratories of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1917...It is the writer's intention to review in this paper the various published methods for the determination of alumina in high alumina clays and to present a new indirect one that after some months' use in industrial practice, fulfills, in some measure at least, the need outlined above"--Introduction, page 1 -2.


The Transmission Of Pressure In The Dry Pressing Of Typical Building Brick And Fire Brick Mixes As Affected By The Degree Of Pressure, Physical Character Of Mix Ingredient, And The Moisture Content Of The Mix, George Ava Page Jan 1930

The Transmission Of Pressure In The Dry Pressing Of Typical Building Brick And Fire Brick Mixes As Affected By The Degree Of Pressure, Physical Character Of Mix Ingredient, And The Moisture Content Of The Mix, George Ava Page

Bachelors Theses

"In the manufacture of dry press brick, the final grinding and tempering of the clay is usually done in a dry pan. The next operation is forming the ware by means of applying pressure, either mechanical or hydraulic. The actual pressure that a brick is subjected to in a mechanical press has always been a question...The purpose of this investigation was to determine what effect would be imparted to the brick by varying the forming pressure and keeping the water content constant, and what effect would be imparted by varying the water content and keeping the forming pressure constant, on …


Revision Of The Jefferson City Formation In The Rolla Quadrangle, James Shelley Cullison Jan 1930

Revision Of The Jefferson City Formation In The Rolla Quadrangle, James Shelley Cullison

Masters Theses

"The geology of the Rolla quadrangle was mapped by Lee in 1912. At that time all the dolomitic strata above the Roubidoux and beneath the Carboniferous formations in this area were placed in the Jefferson City. A more detailed study of the stratigraphy of the whole Ozark region by Ulrich has shown that some of the strata which had been included in the Jefferson City formation on lithologic grounds are not equivalent to the dolomites in the type section at Jefferson City, Missouri"--Introduction, page [1].


The Solubilities Of Alkali Chlorides And Sulfates In Anhydrous Alcohols, Emmet Rudolph Kirn Jan 1930

The Solubilities Of Alkali Chlorides And Sulfates In Anhydrous Alcohols, Emmet Rudolph Kirn

Masters Theses

"A search of the literature for data on the solubilities of inorganic salts in various anhydrous alcohols will show that comparatively little work has been recorded. Most of the work has been done on salts in aqueous normal alcohols and practically all of this data concerns only methyl and ethyl alcohols. This information shows a wide divergence in results with different workers. Perhaps these differences in data may be attributed to an error in that the alcohols may not have been absolutely anhydrous, for even small traces of water greatly affect the solubility of the salts. Again, the methods of …


The Testing Of Steel For Wear By Abrasives, Thomas Evan Eagan Jan 1930

The Testing Of Steel For Wear By Abrasives, Thomas Evan Eagan

Professional Degree Theses

"The tests herein reported were conducted with the idea of finding a steel which would give improved wear as roll shells in the comminution of ores...Not only must the wear be considered, but also the physical properties. It is desirable to have a steel of such Tensile and impact values that no failure by breakage would occur until the shell was worn very thin. The ideal condition being to wear the shell down to zero thickness, but such cannot be accomplished"--Introduction, page 2.

A Study Of The Iodine Content Of Missouri Vegetables And Soils, Charles Jackson Potter Jan 1930

A Study Of The Iodine Content Of Missouri Vegetables And Soils, Charles Jackson Potter

Masters Theses

"Investigations have shown that the iodine content of vegetables, water, and soils has a direct relationship to the goiter incidence of a given region. A few countries, notably New Zealand and Switzerland have made a rather complete survey. In the United States, South Carolina has made the most progress in this direction.

At the present time there are no available records of vegetable and soil analysis for iodine in Missouri. Hunze determined the amount of iodine in waters in Missouri. The connection of his results with the author's results will be seen later.

The present investigation was carried out at …


The North Side Sewage Treatment Works Of The Chicago Sanitary District, Floyd Allen Gerard Jan 1930

The North Side Sewage Treatment Works Of The Chicago Sanitary District, Floyd Allen Gerard

Professional Degree Theses

"My aim in writing this thesis has been to give a clear and concise picture of the Plant, its construction, operating experiences, results and the need for sewage treatment. For this reason, I have incorporated much information, which, while not dealing directly with the subject in hand, is closely allied to it and forms a very necessary background. As the Sanitary District considers its actual operating results confidential, I have refrained from including them. Much useful information can be derived from a careful study of the photographs and drawings included"--page ii.
